A Great Local Gift Idea!

2008 Humboldt Farm to Table Calendar

The Humboldt CAFF chapter and the North Coast Growers' Association (NCGA) have joined to create the 2008 Farm to Table Calendar.

The calendar features food and farming artwork from local watercolorist Alan Sanborn. Each month features artwork that Alan has done for the farmers’ market posters over the past 10 years.

Complete with beautiful paintings of local farms, this calendar is a great gift for family and friends!

Each calendar costs only $15 ($17.00 with shipping)....
